Students may undertake mobility periods lasting from a minimum of three to a maximum of ten months within the networks, while shorter mobility periods are also possible (e.g. for the purposes of preparing a final thesis). Mobility periods are awarded through calls for applications and include scholarships and financial support, while the objectives of the programme are the development of academic competences, international experience, and professional contacts.

The programme is implemented through CEEPUS networks — partnerships between higher education institutions from several countries that enable joint cooperation, knowledge exchange, and study mobility.
